this is exactly what copper would say
-
people stealing your shit for scrap is only going to get worse as food prices go up and wages stay slave-y
copper tubing on your a/c, the tailgate off your truck, your catalytic converter-- easy money
-
Bold of them to assume copper thieves can read.

If you're a copper, you have to tell me.

It's a really common thing in construction yards.

Even when it's fully installed, people will try to steal the copper cables. In the power industry it's a real problem with people removing the earthing, not always noticeable right away, but then it's not safe to work on anymore.
File this under frequently found dead. Substations get hit like this and then the guy dies walking away

If it's real copper, they have to tell you. It's in the constitution.

How bad is your neighborhood that you have to label cable spools to prevent material theft???
-
Actually so lame that they have to do this. Cant have shit in Detroit (or wherever this is)

If enough people believe it's copper, it's good enough.

Um... What kind of fiber optic?

True. Construction sites helped me build lots of bike and skateboard ramps in the 80s.
Did you know they also used to leave keys in the heavy equipment?
-
I feel like you could real easily just steel that roll and of fiber optic cable and sell it? Like that much of the stuff must be rather valuable. Also they labelled it for you so that you know what it is

Sell it to who? Most business must keep records of the stuff they use in their books. A roll of optic fiber this large would cost a substantial amount of money, so using one "off the books" would require some creativity. And I'm not sure there's much use for individuals for that much.
Copper is interesting because there are business that buys it by weight for recycling purposes.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Who would you sell it to? The same telecom company? The same company that installs it? Might as well steal the tires off the installation team truck and sell it back to them.
